It's a good deal, don't get me wrong, I just don't know if I want to drop another $25... Between the other two and this one, that's been a LOT for me to drop on toys in a really short period of time, so I'm just feeling tapped out.

My stores didn't have a ton of any of the new exclusives though, so I wonder if maybe they won't linger much either.

Other than the colors, the Han is great. Such a shame this isn't brown coated, and includes both head/hat options (hood up/down). Though, it leaves the obvious re-release available, so I hope they're planning on it because I'll buy it for certain. The pistol is a little lame too (lacks paint it seems).

I could totally see this Han figure w/a Hood Up head and more appropriate coat color being released as part of the Vintage Collection before that line ends. Seems like a no-brainer to me, plus it also gives us a Vintage carded figure that more closely matches the Kenner figure from the 80s.

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

Found this set tonight. Four sets on an endcap, I only snagged one for now. I might get a second later, I like Paul's idea of making a Rebel Scout. Haven't gotten to open it yet but Han's coat coloring is really the only bad part about this set. Well that and it not being the superior hod up version.

The scout idea's growing on me a lot, plus this is the two full-horned Taun-Taun to boot... That makes me consider it even more. Maybe if I've got some extra scratch next pay I'll cave. I could always use another Rebel, and the Han's parts are probably usable to some degree too other than just the legs.

I had originally intended to sell off the Han when I first got the set, but I just really like the way he fits on the saddle- so I put a drybrushing of brown across all of the blue, and wet-painted some brown onto the soft goods. Really can't see much blue now, and he looks much better! As for the Tauntaun, the sculpt just grows on you. I have the POTF2 Luke version one shelf over, and after a week of visually comparing, the older sculpt is definitely starting to show its age. I wasn't going to buy the new Luke tauntaun, but I just may now.

Picked up this set last night. I really like the taun taun. The rebel trooper is always welcome and the extra gadget is cool. I think that's the best paint job on that particular Han Solo head I've seen. The paint on the fur of his hood is a really weird color though, I've never customized anything in my life but I think I can manage this.

These are becoming more and more common around my area. I'll pick up a second set eventually. Also saw a returned set today that had a POTF2 Tauntaun, regular Brown Coat Hoth Han and the Bespin Han from the 30AC Torture Rack set. Hid that one behind some RC trucks although I need to start placing Post Its on defective merchandise warning people not to buy it and stores to take it off the shelves.
